And so Motor Trend did the only logical thing: It procured both the 'Vette and Prancing Horse as soon as it could, and put them both on track with the Driver's Car-winning 911. Of course, these cars don't actually compete against each other – the Ferrari offers up 731 horsepower and wears an asking price of $434,144 as tested, which means you could buy four loaded Corvettes for the price of one F12, and still have money left for a garage to store them in – but that's not the point of this particular test.

The point of this test isn't to listen to the beautiful sounds coming from the Porsche's flat-six-cylinder, the Corvette's pushrod V8 or the Ferrari's luscious V12, either, but the video below is worth watching for those three reasons alone. You know what to do.

I understand that this is a subjective evaluation based on drivers feel, but how can you simply disregard such a major discrepency in price between the Porsche and Vette. I am not including the Ferrari because it is so far out there.
But with the Porsche at $151k and the Vette at $68k I could get the Vette and a BMW M3 (M5?). That is not insignificant. The way Porsche's prices are trending, the ZR1 is likely to be cheaper than this 911S.

Complete joke.
So when the ZR1 comes out, MT admitted that would be a GT3 competitor and should not be compared against a 911 C4S.
Huh? Why not compare the Stingray with the 2WD MT 911 then Scott - crickets...

Apparently you missed the part about the base Corvette only being behind by two tenths of a second? Even if the ONLY thing they did to the Z0 was give it more power, it would still mop the floor with the F12 in lap time. Considering that the Z0 is certain to get better brakes and suspension in addition to a bunch more power, it's basically certain that it will be quicker around the track than the F12. I expect by quite a lot.

BTW, is it me or does Motor Trend not know how to do math?
$434.1K Ferrari / $51.9K Stingray = 8.4x as expensive.
That means you could buy yourself a different color Corvette for every day of the week, and still have plenty of money left over for a really nice seven car garage.

Everyone has been saying that Porsche must be investing major advertising income with MT or giving them the VIP treatment at every opportunity, considering they seem to blow smoke up Porsche's dress at every opportunity.
I didn't give too much thought to that until now.
This is a SPORTS CAR comparison, and they give the car that is slowest in virtually every performance category the win? FAIL.

Funny thing is most fanboys will always look at what they want to see. When every journalist in the world says that the Porsche has the best chassis in the world, it does not matter because the vette has better numbers. I don't care about numbers, I want a car that feels great, Big difference that fanboys never want to hear, hurts too much. And it's too bad because the Vette is a good car, just as smidge under the Porsche. Which is a great accomplishment when you look at how much cheaper it is. The Ferrari does not belong there, it's a freaking fast GT, not a pure sports car.
